As the name suggests, Café Jazz is a cosy, intimate space for jazz lovers to hear live music and diners to enjoy delightful dishes.

Part of The Sandringham Hotel, or perhaps it’s more accurate to say half of it, Café Jazz is a welcome addition to the hotel and is beloved by both locals and visitors to Cardiff.

Now accepting the tastecard, members who call in advance can relax to the sounds of jazz and unwind knowing that all fare feasted upon will be complete with fantastic discounts.

It’s only fitting that a location with such a rich ambience features some delicious dishes, and this is apparent from the superb starters, which feature the likes of the irresistible whole mussels, steamed in mariniere or provencale sauce and paired with garlic bread, the scrumptious grilled asparagus wrapped in Parma ham, partnered with a hollandaise drenched poached egg, and the delectable grilled vegetable timbale, topped with roast beetroot and goat’s cheese.

Equally as exemplary are the main courses, which showcase plenty to please any palate. Particularly merit worthy meals include the succulent 8oz fillet steak au poivre, accompanied with a choice of chips, a jacket potato or a gourmet salad, the rich fresh sea bass fillets, pan fried in a herb and brandy butter, and the scrumptious braised leek, chestnut mushroom and cheese parcel, complete with a Larver bread cake.

Having played host to a wealth of famous musicians from around the world, the unassuming Café Jazz is a cultural hotspot and well worth a visit, regardless of whether guests are staying overnight at The Sandringham Hotel or not.
